For me, it’s having my TV mounted to our chimney breast. I know that it’s a faux pas on here 😏

I poo in public toilets and sometimes even at work.

Have you seen the new Andrex advert 🤣

For some not all the ultimate sin
I'm a man.

I live on a council estate, I claim benefits, I drink and have a flat screen TV. I'm just waiting for my goat.

I don't have a car.

I like my neighbours and take in parcels for them.

@MoonWoman69 I need to see photos of your kittens, pretty please.

Aww, with pleasure! They're 6 months old now, so you can't get them in the same place at the same time, but here's when I could!

I also like my neighbours and sit out the back drinking with them when it's sunny. And we use each others bins without asking. They're just in a rabble on the corner. There's no discipline here at all, binwise.

But I think the most striking MN crime is that I don't really mind that much when people are a bit rude to me, or think about it after. I mean sometimes they are dickheads and fuck them etc... but often it's just someone saying the wrong thing? I'm always saying the wrong thing myself. I don't read that much into it. Most people are just doing their best in this life.

I absolutely love weddings abroad and all weddings, I get excited when I get an invite. I am grateful for a day, an evening, anything and I’d love a colour scheme for the guests invite.
The COL crisis hasn’t had any impact in my life and I am not a boomer.

Bikechic · 23/10/2024 08:34

I'm about to send a birthday card to DH's niece

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 23/10/2024 08:38

Forgot to say that I love dogs. 🐶

olderbutwiser · 23/10/2024 08:47

I am a Boomer
I don’t think that people who have affairs are necessarily selfish shits who should be left and taken to the cleaners
My elderly mum was no trouble at all
I make my own decisions about A&E

Edited to add:
I’m over 65 and sometimes forget where I left my glasses but I don’t have dementia
And I also (still) like sex

If she's over 10 this is a crime on multiple levels!

Guilty as charged

I don’t look 20yrs younger than I am. I have male friends, that I meet for drinks and dinner (without a chaperone!).

pumpkinpam · 23/10/2024 09:02

I vape.
I put 'chavvy' bows on my dd.

WetBandits · 23/10/2024 09:06

I answer the phone and the door. I have toilet brushes. I get lip filler too 😱 oh, and I like dogs!

We are NC with MIL though, so we’ve ticked one MN box at least.

gettingolderbutcooler · 23/10/2024 09:09

I confess that I once didn't make soup from chicken leftovers.
I'm so sorry. And embarrassed.

Username19781209 · 23/10/2024 09:12

If my washing is out and it rains so long as it's not stuff that could damage out it stays wtf am I doing with a loaf of wet horrible washing! Let the elements sort it.
In the summer I'm known to purposefully hang washing out before bed I leave for work at 6am I do not have time to do it in the morning.
I wash my husband's clothes.
I actively go out of my way to help my husband (even if I really don't want to) if he needs me because he is my husband!
A chicken is one meal. Possibly one meal and a sandwich.

DinahSlade · 23/10/2024 09:18

I shower/bath most days but not every single day.. probably 5-6 times a week. That is considered disgusting on MN.
I took my husbands name, gave it to our children and I am a SAHM.
I don't wash bedding/tea towels/underwear separately.
I am overweight.
A chicken only lasts us for two meals (family of 7)
I answer my door and phone (reluctantly)
I don't own a TV
I don't think Toast is the height of fashion.
We don't have a six figure income.
I have never been in home bargains or the range.

I've got an extremely old toilet brush. Which I still use.

😂

For a moment I thought I was hight of fashion I often consider toast for my evening meal ~that I call my tea~ because I'm a lazy bugger. . . Then realise you mean that awful clothes shop.

PyreneanAubrie · 23/10/2024 09:34

I bought a pedigree puppy instead of getting a rescue dog.

I'm slim but have never dieted.

I have long hair and I'm over 60.

DinahSlade · 23/10/2024 09:39

I think matching christmas PJs is a little cringe, and when the parents join in it's mortifying.
I don't mind talking in parcels for neighbours.
I don't like Starmer and dont think he's a great person (couldn't stand the other lot either).
I have never been shaking and crying during/after confrontation.
I'm not a confident driver and get nervous about parking, driving to new places and avoid driving as much as possible.
I dont wash my bra after every use.
I have more than 3 children.
I go to church fairly often.
I am happy to host Christmas.
I don't mind my daughter playing with my old barbies.
My kids are screen free and instead go running around with wooden swords/axes/daggers/pistols for many hours a week.

I use dolmio for bolognese sauce. My family prefer it to the traditional one made from scratch.
